I was unfortunately referred to BJC
I went in for a full body MRI, and the technician used too short of an IV tube, so whenever the bed slid backwards into the machine to scan my lower body, the short IV tube was fully suspended in the air, not touching the surface of the machine because of how intense the tension was. This caused a nasty pain and even nastier scaring. Even worse, the emergency button was not working. No one came in, and the procedure didn’t stop. When I brought up the MRI scenario to my providers on MyChart, had no luck getting assurance on not being assigned the same MRI tech again. Patient & family affairs has pretended to do an investigation since January of this year and the only communication I’ve gotten is a cookie cutter letter with 0 case specific info saying sorry, and a couple emails responding to my voicemails saying “we don’t know anything we’re looking”. It appears as if patent safety is completely ignored, as they seem unfazed that the MRI machine was faulty & failed to stop after the emergency button was pressed

They don’t care about the results of their mistakes
Horrible, never have I had a bad health provider experience until I was unfortunately referred to BJC. I went in for a full body MRI, and the technician used too short of an IV tube, so whenever the bed slid backwards into the machine to scan my lower body, the short IV tube was fully suspended in the air, not touching the surface of the machine because of how intense the tension was. This caused a nasty pain and even nastier scaring. Even worse, the emergency button was not working. No one came in, and the procedure didn’t stop. When I brought up the MRI scenario to my providers on MyChart, had no luck getting assurance on not being assigned the same MRI tech again (I’m forced to go to BJC, no other specialists for my hyper-specific situation in MO. I just want BJC to figure out what went wrong so I can be comfortable treating my rare tumors). Patient & family affairs pretended to do an investigation over a month+ long period, I’ve yet to get any actual information from that besides the corporate equivalent of “I’m sworry” contained in the resolution letter. The letter had no specifics on my case and could have been sent to anyone for any complaint. Just swap names & departments and the letter works for any situation. The letter contains a number to call for more info but they never respond even after a month. Their “investigations” mean nothing.

Only go to this hospital for minor health concerns
Barnes have they waited room packed full of people with pain issues and they make them waint more than 3 hours.

Predatory, fraudulent billing practices
Beware don’t pay co-pays prior to procedure or getting an itemized bill and don’t agree to anything without a price quote these people are money hungry and don’t care who or how they scam someone for it, tripled the cost of a procedure I had been doing here for years, no warning prices were tripling, just sprung it on me, also slow walked the billing process so that I wouldn’t discover price increases until they had me on the hook for 3 more procedures and of course they blamed the insurance, well the truth is they manipulated the billing codes so they could charge more. Good riddance’s BJC!

Absolutely not Barnes!
Every level of this hospital is subpar. Every single person I have spoken to is rude and condescending. I wouldn’t recommend this medical center. Being a 35 year healthcare professional I’ve found everyone I’ve interacted with rude and disrespectful. Good luck with this healthcare system! Never again!! I’ll stay home and hope for the best! I will drive back to a major midwestern city for care

Hateful, rude, negligent nurses
Leaving a friend to die and won't even let him have his laptop so he can talk to his family. Evil. Would rate lower if I could.

I intend to sue
I am presenting an impartial review based on FACTS; Barnes Jewish needs an internal evaluation of their processes and implementation of medical services. I was assaulted by BJC law enforcement. I went into the downtown location to request medical assistance. An officer approached Me & without provocation body slammed Me to the ground. Aware of My rights, I called to report the officer. The hospital refused to acknowledge My account and was blatantly intolerant. I will NOT support any institution which denies US to the basic human right of medical attention with CARE!

Sent me a bill for almost $4k didn't even try to bill my insurance
My insurance is one that works with BJH. Honestly would have skipped the MRI if I had known finance/insurance would be this kind of headache, which it isn't anywhere else I've gone. Just go somewhere else. BJC is horrible overall.
